Competition
• In perfect competition, the product offered by competitors is
the same item. If one competitor increases its price, it will lose
all of its market share to the other companies based on market
supply and demand forces, where prices are not set by
companies and sellers accept the pricing determined by market
activity.
There are certainly a lot of bakeries in any town, and each one of them
sells a slightly differentiated product to the consumer in the market. But
if in a particular area of the town there exists only one bakery, then it can
demand a slightly higher amount of price for its products. The firms
under monopolistic competition with their ability can gain a greater
degree of market share due to which it can increase the prices of its
products.
The competition is a vital part of
Marketplace challenges. It helps the
industry to grow and be more efficient.
This competition also increases the
experience of a brand, and the industry
becomes glorious. Nowadays, changes are
in every corner, so the industry condition
should also be changed for betterment
